CPU not cooling down after Load

[Rodniz]

Ive got a question in my mind since a while now and i finally got myself to ask u guys.

I own a FX 6300, which is running at a steady 25-30 degrees after boot up, as long as i just browse and not doing intense stuff.

But as soon as i play a game, have it running under load for some time and relieve him from his load, he doesnt get much cooler anymore.

Hes running on ~70 while load. (I know, it is hot, i dont care, will get a new MB+CPU soon anyways.) As soon as i stop gaming, he gets down to max. 50 degrees, but not any cooler.

The CPU fan doesnt even slow down aswell, pretty loud all the time. I dont care about the Load-Noice since im having Headphones on at that time, but as soon as i stop playing, i want that **** to be quiet

Is there anything i can do about this?

 

tl;dr

After load, my cpu wont cool down and fan keeps spinning at something littler lower then load rpm.

I'd check the thermal compound in between the CPU and the heatsink. Make sure you have some more to apply before you remove the cooler though.

You may want to look at a aftermarket cooler such as Hyper 212 evo presuming you are using a stock cooler.

OP: Can you check the clock speeds? Maybe it's not clocking down like it's supposed to. If it's Windows 8 or Windows 10, you can check via the Task Manager. Otherwise you can use CPU-Z or HWMonitor

 

If you are using the stock cooler, getting a CM 212 would be a good investment too.

The fact is intel stock cooler have this problem too, but the nosie is a bit less noticeable, going to replacing a whole entire platform is gonna to cost around 300 dollars~ . The problem is clearly either his fan profile is fucked and stock cooler and this could be fix through getting a cheap ~30 dollars aftermarket coolers such as hyper 212 evo.

Do you have sufficient exhaust fans for your system. The fact that it sits at 50C after a game suggests there is little airflow. It could also be, like others have mentioned, the thermal paste.

 

I also noticed you've overclocked your FX 6300 on a stock cooler so it's not really surprising to see those temps. I would suggest investing in a hyper 212 evo at the very least as temps above 65C are not ideal.

I aint got the stock cooler. I got something very similar to the hyper 212, a GELID SOLUTIONS TRANQUILLO 3. I will order some new thermal paste today, to replace that. Ill keep u guys updated.

The day, i overclocked the fx, somebody told me to turn cool and quiet off. So i turn it back onn?

Yes. That's what makes it clock down when it's not doing anything intensive.

 

And there's no need to turn off any power saving features as long as the setting isn't set for aggressive power saving. Hardware and software is smart enough to give you the performance when you need it and there's no point in forcing the parts to run at full speed all the time.

Allright, ill try that out as soon as im at home

I know you said you know it's hot but you're 10C above the max temp for FX chips (61C for CPU, 71C for socket) which means your socket is probably 80+C, be careful or it will burn out. Consider a nice aftermarket cooler that will be compatible with your upgrade (most are) and just move it to the new system once you get it.

 

I also have noticed FX chips are overvolted so you can probably drop the voltage quite a bit and still have stability. My FX had a stock 3.1 Ghz (@ 1.26V) that boosted up to 4.0 (@ 1.41V) but I had no problem getting it stable at a constant 4.0 (@1.29V, APM off so no throttling) and it ran a lot cooler than stock (by over 10C) and got way higher benchmarks. 460 vs 550 in cinebench (still pretty bad compared to Intel, haha, but it will hold me over until broadwell-e releases). I had to OC to 4.4 Ghz before I was actually needing the voltage they would boost to.

I would keep all those settings on, the only setting that actually slows your CPU under load is APM but be very careful with turning this off, make sure you have a lot of thermal headroom since just turning that off can add 10-20C to you max temp as it will no longer drop clocks/voltages automatically if your CPU is getting too hot. You may as well leave it on since turning it off only gave me about a 5% increase in benchmark scores. (APM can be weird, it was throttling my CPU even when temps were low, that's why I turned it off)

I wouldnt even care if the System stops working today. As long as it runs, the way it does, im fine with it. If not, ill buy the new one. I got a nice aftermarket cooler, otherwise i wouldnt be able to Overclock it the way it is.

 

Topic: It now works, with cool&quiet turned back on. Thank you guys.
